Modifiable and Nonmodifiable Factors

The idea

An outcome is attributable to care combined with patient or environmental factors, some of which can be changed and some of which cannot.

In practice

A result shaped partly by the intervention and partly by circumstances nobody chose.

Where people slip

Attributing an outcome entirely to the care given overstates what the care did, in either direction.
